Thanks for the feedback. I don't recall Herzog's voiceover conveying impatience so much as bewilderment that there's no end to this woman's wild experiences…. Anyway I shared your comment with the other podcast participants, and here's what a couple of them had to say:

“As is usually the case with Herzog, or so I think, it's open to interpretation (and largely dependent on one's mood). His films straddle so many lines it's hard to really know his intention. Which is one of the main reasons I like his films.” -gt

“He also cuts back to her so she can add another detail about her
travels (the garbage truck across Africa?), more incredible than all
those that came before. I don't find it impatient.

I do think his cutting off of the young linguist (if that's what the
guy really is, even) more impatient, but maybe blatantly manipulative
is more accurate since Herzog ends up claiming the guy states almost
exactly things about language-extinction that Herzog has been saying
in interview for years.

Herzog does “talking-over” in LESSONS OF DARKNESS as well and has
seemed to favor it for translation rather than subtitling (which would
maintain the original audio source material for evaluation) for years.

I also just glanced over the a book about Timothy Treadwell on a $2
shelf outside a used bookstore, and this 2nd printing paperback
introduction has a reaction to GRIZZLY MAN in which the author claims
a lot of Alaskan natives who interacted with Treadwell thought the
movie's depiction of his madness was forced and off-base…but then,
the question that remains so intriguing in that film is whether
Treadwell's own footage could really be manipulated or
re-contextualized outside his control to convey a sense of madness or
if the proof of mental illness (likely, I think) is in the footage's
DNA.” – Ben Simington
